I think this is a good move for both parties.
He knows where the back of the net and also knows the Championship, he is settled in the area so won't be the upheaval of moving house for him on a personal level, he is obviously still hungry to play football or he could of quite easily sat in the stands at Newcastle getting paid for it. For me especially if its a loan it is a low risk signing with more potential positives than negatives. Like somebody else said we are not in a position to buy ready made players in the peak with bags of championship experience, especially with the huge rebuild we need. We need to look at the players who are rather up and coming in the game with potential, unproven foreign players, or players slightly past peak. All have risk factors for various reasons and some probably won't work out but that is just where we are at as a club, but as we have seen with past experiences of signings big fee's and reputation doesn't guarantee a player who will do the job, some of our best signings in recent years have been low fee low risk signings.
